DWARFED FRUIT TREES

The Flory Peach 
Only a few years ago the 
thought of planting an orchard 
of apples, pears, plums, cherries, 
peaches, nectarines, quince, apri- 
cot, orange, lemon, grapefruit, 
limes, and including several va- 
rieties of each, on an average city 
lot seemed impossible. But now 
with the development of the mod- 
ern dwarfing stocks,over sixty 
trees can be planted where only 
4 standard apple trees could 
grow. 
This means that on your lot, 
you can have several varieties of 
each fruit, plus room for grapes, 
berries, vegetables and flower 
garden. :

The modern dwarfed tree pro- 
duces full size fruit in an amaz-~ 
ing number of varieties. They 
produce fruit years ahead of 
standard trees with much less 
work. Almost all of the spraying, 
pruning, thinning and harvest- 
ing can be done from the ground. 
Quality of the fruit is generally 
better on dwarf trees because 
these essential operations can be 
done more thoroughly and easily. 
To sum it up: 
Dwarfed trees take less space. 
By planting more trees you can 
extend your season as much as 
two months in some cases by get- 
ting early, mid-season and late 
varieties. 
Dwarfed trees are easier to 
spray, prune and harvest. A tree 
that grows from 5 to 10 feet is 
much easier to care for than one 
that grows 20 to 30 feet. 
Dwarfed trees bear sooner. A 
standard apple tree takes 4 to 5 
years to produce fruit while a 
dwarfed tree sometimes has 
fruit the same year planted. 
Fruit produced on dwarfed 
trees is generally better quality, 
earlier ripening and better color 
than on standard trees.
